Field studies conducted in Dinosaur Park badlands, Alberta, Canada, Chinguacousy badlands, Ontario, Canada and Sestino badlands, Tuscany, Italy, have shown that there are 2 dominant clay-rich lithologies : smectite-rich and smectite-poor mudrocks
. Clay minerals have an important role in defining surface and subsurface processes on badland hillslopes. Badland materials were monitored in controlled laboratory conditions during an incremental weathering experiment. It is highlighted that knowing
